美国总统川普在佛罗里达州坦帕的一个集会上讲话。(2018年7月31日)
 
 美国总统川普在社交网站接连发文,指对中国进口产品加征关税的正面效应远远高于任何人的预期。

川普总统说:“关税对美国钢铁业有巨大的正面效果,各地工厂正在开工,钢铁工人重新上岗,大笔资金涌入国库。” 川普总统说,“关税会令美国更加富裕,只有愚蠢的人才反对,我们用关税来谈判公平的贸易协议,如果其他国家不愿意谈判,他们就得向美国支付庞大关税,不论如何我们都获胜。”

….Tariffs have had a tremendous positive impact on our Steel Industry. Plants are opening all over the U.S., Steelworkers are working again, and big dollars are flowing into our Treasury. Other countries use Tariffs against, but when we use them, foolish people scream!

川普总统还对中国在贸易战中对美国发起的公关战相当不满,他说:“中国花巨资通过广告和公关,企图游说和恐吓美国的政客,在加征关税方面与他作对”。他说,关税打中了中国经济。美国正在取胜,这是中国第一次在跟美国较量中没占上风。

….China, which is for the first time doing poorly against us, is spending a fortune on ads and P.R. trying to convince and scare our politicians to fight me on Tariffs- because they are really hurting their economy. Likewise other countries. We are Winning, but must be strong!

川普总统说:“中国股市四个月来大跌27%。而美国股市则空前高涨,而且当那些可怕的贸易交易被废除,经重新谈判,成功地达成新的贸易协议之后,股市还会大涨。”

Tariffs are working far better than anyone ever anticipated. China market has dropped 27% in last 4months, and they are talking to us. Our market is stronger than ever, and will go up dramatically when these horrible Trade Deals are successfully renegotiated. America First…….

美国上星期宣布拟对价值2000亿美元从中国进口的产品提高追加关税。中国则采取反制措施,宣布将对从美国进口的价值600亿美元的商品加征最多25%的关税。

川普总统说,其他国家可以用关税对付美国,而美国一用关税时,一帮蠢人就开始尖叫。
